DEFEATS OSSIAN Many Local Fans See Yellow Jackets Win Sixth Straight Game A large crowd of Decatur basket- ‘ ball fans journeyed -to Ossian last night and witnessed the Decatur high school quintet win Mts sixth straight victory, defeating the Ossian high eagers for the second time this season, score 31-23. The game was rough, owing to the small size of the tl'Mir, but was exceedingly fast and exciting. After the first few minutes the De*catur team mainlained a load through the contest. The score was tied at 2-2 and 1-1 but the Yellow Jackets lhen piled up a 12-1 yead. Decatur leading 18-G at the end of the first half. At the start of the second half Ossian staged a rally which threatened the Decatur lead. The home team scored eight points before Decatur counted again, making the score stand 18-11. The Yellow Jackets then began caging the baskets again and drew away to a comfortable lead. Beal Is Injured Conch Howard started Andrews and Captain Dorwtn at forward. Lam miman nt center, mid Steele and White at guard. This combination played throughout the first half and the first ton minutes of the second period, before Beal replaced Andrews at forward. Farr substituted for Steele at guard during the last live minutes. Abont three minutes before the game ended. B*-al received a blow on his nose which caused that member to start bleeding, and Coach Howard sent Andrews back Into the game. Beck, Ossian guard, suffered a broken nose early in the game and was forced to leave the contest. Last night appeared to be a bad night for noses, as another Ossian player had his nose "bloodied" during the game. This was dne to the small size of the floor. Hunter, /he flashy forward, was the outstanding star for Ossian. He caged five field goals and four free throws for a total of 11 points. • Captain Dorwln led in the scoring for D's-atuf with seven field coals and three free thrown, but the other mem b-rs of the team were equally im portant tn the De<*tur victory.
